The fungus candida causes a vaginal yeast infection. Your vagina naturally contains a balanced mix of yeast, including candida, and bacteria. Lactobacillus bacteria produce acid, which prevents yeast overgrowth. That balance can be disrupted and lead to a yeast infection. Too much yeast in your vagina causes vaginal itching, burning and other classic signs and symptoms of a yeast infection. Candida albicans is the most common type of fungus to cause yeast infections. Sometimes, other types of candida fungus are to blame. Common treatments usually cure a Candida albicans infection. Yeast infections caused by other types of candida fungus can be more difficult to treat, and need more aggressive therapies.
Eat often to beat tiredness. A good way to keep up your energy through the day is to eat regular meals and healthy snacks every three to four hours, rather than a large meal less often. Read more about healthy eating.
How Much Should You Exercise and How Often? Aim for at least 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity activity (such as brisk waking). That amounts to about 30 minutes a day at least 5 days a week. If you're just getting started, you can slowly build up to that. In time, you can make your workouts longer or more challenging. Do that gradually, so your body can adjust. When you work out, keep your pace low for a few minutes at the start and end of your workout. That way, you warm up and cool down each time. You don't have to do the same exact thing every time. It's more fun if you change it up.
